About the Book

Erik Eleodum is a simple man. He doesn't want to be a hero. He doesn't need fame or fortune. He is content farming his family's homestead in northern Háthgolthane and raising a simple family, like his father, for the rest of his life. In fact, adventure is the last thing on his mind. Befel, Erik's brother, and Bryon, his cousin, can't think of anything worse than farming for the rest of their lives. They want to be heroes. They want fame and fortune. They want to leave their families and go east, to the country of Golgolithul, where they are sure to find easy wealth and great adventure. But when these three young men leave their farmstead, they quickly discover the world is not so simple, not so easy. Most fortune is laden with treachery, fame must be earned with blood, and adventures are rarely grand. Ideas of grandeur are crushed and the road east is hard. To get there, these men must ultimately sell their swords and become friends with thieves, dwarves, soldiers, and mercenaries well past their prime. They battle a band of ruthless slavers, slip past assassins, and experience the deadly consequences of black magic. Will Erik ever be able to return to the simple life? Will he unwittingly become famous, become rich, become a hero? Or, will he even survive?

About the Author :
Christopher Patterson lives in Tucson, Arizona with his wife, Kellie, and children. A Tucson native, Christopher studied literature and creative writing at the University of Arizona and currently teaches in Tucson. He gained a love for adventure and fantasy at a young age and started writing fantasy-adventure stories using his grandmother's typewriter. She would title all of his stories "The Next Great American Novel." His family has always been encouraging and supportive of his craft and it was in college when he discovered he desired a career as an author and began seriously writing. He has also played the guitar for over 20 years and is active in both the music and youth ministries at church. Christopher is also involved in sports, coaching both wrestling and football, and competing in power lifting.

Review :
"Christopher Patterson's writing vocabulary is expansive, often using archaic language and symbolism to bring life to the story. His writing style is acutely descriptive - not only does he give a voice to his characters, but resonating sounds to his scenery as well. I enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the trilogy." -5 Stars.Cheryl E. Rodriguez "I would recommend this to those who are looking for adventure, a new world filled with strange creatures, and many interesting characters." 5 stars. Nightmare Poet "Graphic battles, beautifully written descriptive narratives, all woven upon the word loom of Christopher Patterson." 5 stars. Blanche DuBois "Fantasy lovers, enter the world of A Chance Beginning.... Shadow's Fire deftly weaves a universe worth the price of admission. A true hero's journey, this tale of friendship, faith, and trials will leave you waiting for the sequel. If you loved LORD OF THE RINGS, this book sparks a similar flavor. Read it and see for yourself." Ashley Ludwig "Christopher Patterson was able to meet (and sometimes overreach!) each expectation to the fullest extent of excellence. This book is a treasure, a find, and you will be happy you decided to read it. I loved the struggles that each character had to endure while pursuing their own destiny. It gave me hope to realize that there are going to be battles, but there are also going to be victories. I laughed, I cried, and I was drawn into every word of the fantastic story Patterson so diligently laid out for the reader." 5 Stars. Reader's Favorite "A Chance Beginning is a highly engaging story with well-developed characters and a strong plot. Not only is the action well-paced, there is also plenty of depth to the emotions of the characters as they engage with all sorts of new people and different races." - 5 Star Review, Melinda Hills, Reader's Favorite "The story has been well developed. The characters all seem real and well portrayed and they progress along with the story. There is a lot of action in the story. A well executed fantasy story. I can't wait to see what the author will come up with in Book Two." - 5 Star Review, Mamta Madhavan, Reader's Favorite
